Are You Being Served?

This comedy series, which follows the exploits of employees at London's fictional "Grace Brothers" department store, is full of sexual innuendo, slapstick, visual gags, and double entendres. Much of the show's humor parodies Britain's class system, and many of the show's characters are based on stereotypes of the period, including the effeminate Mr. Humphries and the rich, but stingy, store owner.

Are You Being Served

De serie speelt zich af op de afdeling dames- en herenkleding van het fictieve Londense warenhuis Grace Brothers. Ze steekt op subtiele wijze de draak met de Britse klassenmaatschappij. Er heerst een afgebakende hiërarchie (directeur - afdelingshoofd - verkoopchef - seniorverkopers - juniorverkopers - conciërge - huishoudelijke dienst), waarbij de karakters zich vaak stroperig opstellen naar hun meerderen en hun ondergeschikten schofferen.

Are You Being Served? (досл. "Вас обслуживают?") - ситком канала BBC, веселивший зрителей с 1972 по 1985г. Действие происходит в вымышленном лондонском универмаге братьев Грейс (Grace Brothers), таких древних стариков, что кажется, будто они участвовали в англо-бурской войне (к счастью, они редко появляются). Главные герои - сотрудники отделов мужской и женской одежды, которым из-за реорганизации универмага приходится делить один этаж. На их взаимоотношениях и строится сюжет фильма. Авторы (Джереми Ллойд и Дэвид Крофт) создали классический британский ситком со множеством комических ситуаций и остроумных диалогов (с пикантными шуточками))). Кстати, многие фразы из этого сериала в Англии стали крылатыми (вроде I'm free мистера Хамфриса). В 1977 году по пьесе на основе сериала был снят одноименный фильм (с теми же актерами), а в 1992 году вышел ситком Grace and Favour - продолжение Are you being served от тех же авторов и практически с тем же актерским составом (известен также как Are you being served? Again!).
